| I planted these 10 days ago. I bought them from the local Mennonites they looked great the first few days but not the leaves are goin from yellow to black and drying up. I planted them with a little organic plant food and watered. Should i cut away the bad leaves and the tomatoes that are on them? To help easy the stress? |

| To me, they are getting a lot of nitrogen. The only remedy at this time is to water them more often. BTW, no support ? stakes, cage ? |

| They look bigger then they r they are only supposed to be 18 inches tall they are about 12 in now. Short and stockie. Pictures don't really show the problems i guess they look worse in person. |

| Haha, yeah, Tiny Tim's truly are tiny. I would snip off the sad leaves and see what happens. Doesn't look too bad to me. |
|
| When would be the best time to trim off dead leaves? Morning or evening? I don't want to stress them out to much. |
|
| Hmm, I just snap'em off whenever. I have been known to get over zealous with pruning, but I've never seen a plant respond badly...I doubt removing a few damaged leaves will hurt. On the other hand, leaving them alone may not hurt either if you're worried? |
